Hi guys
I have just started to use this and so far I have found most of it easy but I can't find out how to put widgets onto The Wire sidebar.
I am using The Wire as my front page so need to have things like groups, Tags, Friends
Thanks...

This view would add "aside" modules to the sidebar for latest blogs, groups and a user's friends. You can add other modules for other type of content in a simolar way. For the tags I think you wouldn't have to add anything as the tagcloud is already added to the sidebar by the Tagcloud plugin where it's suitable.

Thank you so very much Sir @RvR!! Actually after I wrote this post I did an inspect element to figure out what was going on. I changed the .elgg-page-body section in the element/layout.css file and it worked!
Thank ya again xoxo
